463. Trail
Of course, avoiding the tracking of those brain-eating bugs is not that simple, we need to choose the right route to the tower in the middle of the town.
In my impression, there are only watchtowers in ancient cities, and the watchtowers of that era are all in the center of the city, as well as at the gate of the city tower, which are mostly prepared to test the enemy's situation, in order to prevent sudden war, and I feel that the world in this picture scroll seems to have stopped time in a certain period of time.
We bypassed the crowd and avoided the surveillance of many brain-eating insects, after all, in the world in this painting, I can feel through the brain-eating insects that there is a certain band between the brain-eating insects and the brain-eating insects, and they can chat over a long distance, which is very rare, and the reproduction of these brain-eating insects actually depends on the human body.
That is to say, some tourists who are lost in Qixia Mountain may be brought here unknowingly, and then become food for brain-eating insects.
My pace quickened a lot, and the four of them soon came to a high tower in the center of the city, but I was on the tower, and I planned to rely on the tower to find the traces of Ghost Shuai and Song Qing, but after checking the vast area around me, I didn't find any trace of the two.
Yun Xian'er said: "Why can't I feel their breath, could it be that they have been eaten by brain-eating worms?" ”
Lao Geng hurriedly waved his hand: "It's unlikely, the ghost handsome is practicing the King Kong Boy Gong, and his whole body is invulnerable, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of effort for the brain-eating worm to enter his body, and Li Qing has a strong attainment in corpse raising art, and he is not a person who is easy to deal with, so naturally it is impossible to be attacked by insects in such a short period of time!" ”
I looked around, thought about it for a while, and said, "In this case, I'm afraid there is only one outcome, and that is outside the city!" ”
"Outside the city?! It's unlikely, I remember what we saw, and it only instructed the situation inside the city, and there were still places outside the city to move?! Lao Guan said.
I smiled and said: "Some powerful ghosts and monsters can subconsciously open up a space, maybe we are in the space inside the scroll, but there are so many brain-eating worms living here, I guess there are many secrets that we haven't learned, such as do you remember, when we were still in the full picture scroll, we saw a lot of stone statues outside the city wall, just like the kind of stone statues containing living people that we encountered in the treasure room of the Daomeng." ”
As soon as I reminded him, most of the wisps in everyone's hearts were removed, and Lao Geng said: "Haoran is right, maybe this town is just a nest, and what really has content is not necessarily in this city!" ”
"Go out and see, what kind of place is this, Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu is still the first time to be trapped in the picture scroll!" Guan Shanhe scolded and said.
We agreed, and immediately decided to go out of the city, and it was not easy to get out of the city, we came to the gate of the city and saw a few guards played by brain-eating worms blocking our way, and the guards said: "How dangerous it is outside the city, please go back!" ”
I glanced at Yun Xian'er, at this time, she smiled slightly, and suddenly her lips opened slightly, and a pink breath erupted, and the faces of these guards quickly blurred, looking like they were dozing off, and they were shaking.
Lao Guan looked at it and exclaimed: "What's going on?" ”
Yun Xian'er said: "This is spore powder, it is a drowsy spores, when I was in human form, I didn't use many spells, I could only use spores as auxiliary attacks, after all, powerful spells need to be cast with the body, in addition, I also have paralysis spores, stun spores have been violently poisoned spores, do you want to give it a try?" ”
Yun Xian'er smiled beautifully, but Guan Shanhe hurriedly shook her head and said, "The eldest sister is mighty, brother, I don't want to be half-paralyzed yet!" ”
Seeing Guan Shanhe's smile, the atmosphere was also relaxed, but after we walked a few steps, the careful old Geng suddenly stopped, and he said, "Look at ......"
He pointed to the ground, and I looked over and saw that there were footprints on the ground, deep and shallow, as if a large group of people were passing by.
I frowned and said, "Old Geng, what do you want to say......"
"Take a closer look! These footprints only went out, but they did not enter the city. Lao Geng took out a tape measure and said, "There are five of these people in total, two of them have the same footprints as Ghost Shuai, Li Qing is exactly the same, and the other three seem to be two men and one woman." ”
"You know very well, do you know me?" Lao Guan said with a smile.
Lao Geng coughed, and he said: "Lao Guan you are a size 46 shoe, and the shoes you usually buy are custom-made, and they are two meters tall and weigh one hundred and three kilograms." ”
Lao Guan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Gao, what about the fairy girl?" ”
Lao Geng laughed: "Xian'er's three measurements are ......"
"Shut up, if you talk nonsense, the old lady will let you taste the power of spore powder!" Yun Xian'er scolded with a smile.
Suddenly, the two old men were speechless, and I couldn't help but secretly give Yun Xian'er a thumbs up, and Yun Xian'er smiled when she saw me, and her smile was particularly moving.
We followed the footprints on the ground and walked towards the forest outside the city, where the scene was similar to the usual trees, and the shape was exactly the same, and we came to the city wall, and there was no one around, so we immediately approached, because there were many stone statues piled up at the wall.
I said, "Let's put the brain-eating worms around here, we can't kill them, otherwise the other brain-eating worms will definitely know that we have recovered, and now they are stored here, and they won't be able to die for a while, maybe our way out is still in the city." ”
Everyone nodded one after another, and under the eyes of my heart, everyone took down the white and chubby brain-eating worms on their shoulders, and the current brain-eating worms were all suppressed by me with soul control techniques, and naturally they would not move.
And Lao Guan here broke the body of the stone statue next to him, and suddenly scolded his mother: "It's disgusting, Mom!" ”
I ran over to take a look, only to find that inside the stone statue, sure enough, it was blood, and there were human bones, at this time the blood almost spurted out, fortunately we were all ready, so we were not hurt by it, and I knocked the head of the stone statue with the stone bridge, and sure enough, a huge insect as thick as an arm bounced out and bit at my face!
Yun Xian'er turned into wood with one hand, wrapped the insect, and said, "Sure enough, the stone statues all came out of the painting, and the stone is the cocoon secreted by the insect!" ”
"Thank you." I said, "But there are so many stone statues here, I really don't know how many lives these brain-eating insects have killed......"
"It reminds me of cuckoo birds and hornets, both of which put their children in other people's nests or in other people's bodies, and maybe it's also a law of evolution in nature." Lao Geng said with emotion.
"But you said that the most unforgivable thing about these bugs is that they have the same IQ as people, if they are allowed to be in that painting, it is fine, but if it is spread in human society, the consequences are unimaginable!" I gave my opinion.
Lao Guan nodded: "What Lao Feng said is yes, damn, when we go out to play, maybe those waiters or small shop vendors have a worm in their heads, how creepy is that...... And humans are like being enslaved by them! ”
"If you want to talk about slaves, aren't the monsters in the past slaves to humans......" As she spoke, Yun Xian'er seemed to think of something painful, and her eyes became stern.
"Now and then, now the monsters have gradually integrated into the big society, but this kind of insects are different, they will bring the danger of extermination, and when the time comes, it will not only be humans, but also other animals, or monsters...... "I said solemnly, because there are more than 100 stone statues in front of me, and it is conceivable that for these insects, reproduction is much easier.
"Maybe I guessed the purpose of the Yaksha, I'm afraid he came to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave for the powerful aggression of the brain-eating worm......" Lao Geng was silent for a while and suddenly said.
I frowned, "You mean that among the footprints of those five people, the two men and one woman are likely to be related to the Yakshas?" ”
"Yes!" Lao Geng said bluntly.
